A contrivance of tick removal to prevent skin damage: Injection into the tick before removal.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ticks adhere to the host skin outdoors. Methods for tick removal without causing skin damage are controversial, and surgical excision along with the skin is mainly performed. A 6-week-old infant who lived indoors with a family cat contracted a tick bite. Tick killing before removal by injection of carbocaine into the tick led to successful removal without damaging the skin. This method can be useful for preventing damage to the skin during tick removal. A pet that roams outdoors can be a transmitter of ticks. We should be aware that this risk of tick bites can be hidden indoors.
